This is pretty damning stuff for the Tories and ties in with what I have been saying for a while. Osborne is a liability for them.

It's great to see Vince getting the recognition he deserves. It is so difficult for spokespeople in any portfolio to get recognition for the third party so his achievement here is even more incredible.

I suspect that most people would make a better Chancellor than any of those three, apart from Mr Brown (a pair of dice would do a better job than him - at least there's a random chance of doing something right!)

Mr Cable has been ahead of the curve on predicting some of the problems, but I don't believe in the solutions I've heard from him. Too Keynes for my taste.
